An electrical contact of an electrical connector includes a mounting leg for being retained within a through hole of the printed circuit board wherein the mounting leg is tubular and is radially deformable to abut against an interior surface of the through hole. The mounting leg is radially thinned in thickness to confront the interior surface of the hole. The mounting leg is formed by rolling a metal plate with a C-shaped cross-section thereof. There are two thinned areas of the mounting leg, symmetrically located by two sides of the slit of the C-shaped cross-sectional configuration.

Deformable tubular contact with radial recess around contacting region

An electrical contact includes a compliant tail defining a pair of opposite first main face and second main face, and a pair of opposite first side face and second side face linked between the first main face and the second main face. The opposite first side face and second side face are bulged for engagement with an interior surface of the corresponding through hole. A pair of first through holes and a pair of second through holes extend through both the first main face and the second main face. The first through holes are configured with an elongated configuration while the second though holes are located around two opposite upper and lower ends of the first through holes.
